c. w. CLOUD BARBERS MIRROR DEVICE Filed April 28, 1928 2 Sheets-Sheet lINVENTOR ATTORNEY Patented Oct. 14, 1930 UNITED TES' CARL W. CLOUD, orBAKER, OREGON BAnnERsaiIn-non DEVICE Application filed April 28,

This invention relates to supporting means for mirrors and is aniinproven'ient upon the supporting means disclosed in my copendingapplication filed September 10, 192?, Serial Like the inventiondisclosed in the application referred to, the present invention isespecially adapted for supporting a mirror or mirrors in such a manneras to enable a person seated in a barbers chair to secure a front, backand side view of his head when his back is reflected in the wall mirror.

Another object of the present invention is the provision of means forrotatably mounting the mirror supporting means so that the mirror ormirrors may be moved int-o and out of position, together with meanswhereby the mirrors may be independently adjusted for the convenience ofthe user, or swung upward and held in raised position when not in use.

With. the above and other objects in View, the invention furtherincludes the following novel features and details of construction, to

be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings and pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings 2- Figure 1 is an elevation illustrating the invention.

Figure 2 is a plan view of the same.

Figure 3 is an elevation showing the manner of mounting the mirrors.

Figure d is an eniarged sectional view on the line 4-& of Figure 1, themirror carry ing bar being shown by dotted lines.

Figure 5 is a fragmentary elevation showing a slightly modified form ofthe invention.

Referring to the drawings in detail wherein like characters of referencedenote corre sponding parts, the invention while capable of many uses isprimarily intended for use in connection with a barbers chair and forthe purpose of illustration is so shown; The

chair is indicated at C, while the usual cabinet is indicated at W, andthe wall mirror at M, the chair, cabinet and mirror M being of anydesired type.

In carrying out the invention use is made 53 of a standard 10 which isadapted to be posi- 1928. serial No. 273,617.

tioned in front of a sheif forming a part of the wall fixture. The lowerend of this stand ard is rotatably mounted within asocket 11 secured tothe floor, while its upper: end is rotatably supported in a bearingsleeve 12 which is carried at the outer end of a telescopicallyadjustable bracket 13 secured to thew alla 7 Rigid with the standard 10is the inner end of a horizontally disposed supporting arm 14 whoseouter end preferably extends downward as indicated at 15 andcarries aninverted T 16. A brace or hanger rod 17 extends from the upper end ofthestandard lO and is connected to the supporting arm 1%.

Pivotally secured to the T 16 as shown at 18 are the spaced ends of aU-shaped member 19, while swiveled in the base of this member is theupper end of a downwardly extending arm 20. This. last mentioned. armhas securedto and extending from its lower end,a bar or bars :21, thelatter being shown as secured in the opposite ends of a T which isconnected to the lower end of the arm The bars 21 receive the lowerthreaded ends of posts 23 which are secured to mirrors 24 arranged uponopposite sides of the arm 20. The lower ends of the posts 23 ex tendthrough the bars 21 so that the mirrors may be rotatably adjusted withrespect to the bars and held in adjusted position by means of thumbscrews 25.

Depending from opposite sides of the supporting arm 14: and movablepivotally with respect to this arm are spaced hooks 26. These hooks arearranged to engage the bars 21 when the mirrors 2d are swung upward.

The mirrors may be swung into position in front of the chair C byrotating the standard 10 and the mirrors may be independently adjustedso that the occupant of the chair may view the front, sides and back ofhis head with'his back to the mirror M Without requiring the barber tohold the members in position. When not in use, the mirrors 24.- may beswung upward in the direction indicated by the arrows in Figure 1 sothat the bars -21 may be engaged by the hooks 26 and the mirrors heldout of the way. The support may then be swunghorizontally so that themirrors will he positioned to one side of or between adjacent chairs andsupported in an elevated out of the way position.

If desired, the supporting arm 14: may be secured to the inner end of arelatively short arm 27 which is mounted for rotation in telescopicallyadjustable brackets 28 which are similar to the brackets 13.

A flange 29 is secured to the upper end of the arm 27 so that the lattermay be hung for rotary movement within. the sleeves at the outer ends ofthese brackets with the brackets positioned above the wall fixtures of abarber shop.

In addition to the lower bar 21, it is preferred to employ upperoppositely eXtending bars 30 which extend from opposite sides of the arm20. The bars 30 are connected with the upper ends of the mirror framesby means of posts 31 which are positioned in a line with the po s andextend through the bars 30 and have mounted thereon thumb nuts 32. Thisprovides a firm support for the mirrors.

The invention is susceptible oi" various changes in its form,proportions and minor details of construction and the right is hereinreserved to make such changes as proper ly fall within the scope of theappended claims.

Having described the invention what is claimed is 1. In combination, ahorizontally disposed supporting; arm, means connected to the inner endof the arm to support the same for horizontal swinging movement, an armextending downwardly from the outer end of the horizontal arm, means tomount the downwardly extending arm for upward swinging movement, ahorizontalbar supported at the lower end of the downwardly extending armand capable of independent rotary movement, mirrors carried by thehorizontal bar upon opposite sides of the downwardly extending arm,means to hold the downwardly extending arm in raised position to holdthe mirrors elevated, means to mount the mirrors for relative pivotaladjustment with respect to the downwardly extending arm.

2. In combination, a horizontally disposed supporting arm, meansconnected to the inner end of the arm to support the same for horizontalswinging movement, an arm extending downwardly through the outer end ofthe horizontal arm, a U-shaped member having its base portion rotatablysecured to the upper end of the downwardly extending arm and its spacedends pivotally secured to the outer end of the supporting arm to permitof upward swinging movement of the downwardly extending arm,independently adjustable mirrors supported I upon opposite sides of thedownwardly ex- 'arm extending downwardly from the outer end of thehorizontal arm and mounted for upward swinging movement, a horizontalbar supported at the lower end of the downwardly extending arm andmounted for in dependent rotary movei'nent, mirrors carried by thehorizontal bar upon opposite s-"dtse: of the downwardly extending arm,and means to hold the downwardly attending arm in raised position tohold the mirrors elevated.

In testimony whereof I aflix mv signature.
